    PowerBook 3400/Kanga Battery

    Yep - it gets bricked as soon you disconnect the terminals. I've even had the board powered (to keep the board alive) while working on it didn't work either as It was a good battery that I killed it. I'd be interested to hear from you if you succeed. Cheers AP

    Need soldering help, likely damaged board :(

    Do you have soldering flux? And clean it up with IPA, That'll help. It might be ok/not damaged - flux will help to clean it up, and maybe a small drill bit to hand drill it out. Cheers AP
